First off, the subject of this email has nothing to do with anything that happened this week, I just remembered "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore existed this morning. I woke up with "I'm gonna pop some tags, only got 20 dollars in my pocket.." in my head. Considering I can only listen to Mo-tab for a while, I think I'm going to request for them to sing it for General Conference in a couple weeks. Also, Happy Labor Day.
Well, it sounded like a pretty chill week in the Reddish home this week. Mom- I think training is going well. I kind of just act like I know what I'm doing and Sister Green believes it. I pray every night I'm not screwing her up. We got a few new investigators this week. A whole family; the Didstch's! They came to church this week. It was glorious. Thank you for the package this week. You are truly the best...I think I say that every email, but seriously, you're the best. Enjoy every minute at Disneyland. I am so beyond jealous! I love you, Mom!! :) Emily- That's the pits about your hip. I'm sorry, little cutie. I will be praying for your poor little body to start feeling back to normal. I never had a coach named Brian.. If he's ever mean to you, just give him the finger and tell him to step off. ;) Just kidding. Have a good week, Emily! Work hard at school, and don't make friends with any boys. Love you so much! Dad- My week was FABULOUS!! You're having hip issues too? Who the heck is next in this family? I'm going to be honest, I'm a little jealous that you and Emily get to eat Taco Bell and Arctic Circle all week. That sounds like my kinda life. As for the vacuuming, perhaps Emily can learn how to vacuum this week. It'll be good for her. ;) You're awesome, Dad. I love you.
Quotes of the week:
1.) "You're here for 18 months and you don't get to go home at all? Oh man, I would be crying so hard if I were you." -Random lady we starting talking to Obviously, this woman doesn't understand how awesome my life is. I tried to explain how it's hard sometimes, but for the most part it's amazing. She didn't really believe me, and would you look at that, she's not a new investigator. Good conversation, Sister Reddish. You're an awesome missionary.
2.) "Sister Reddish, will you please wheel me to the senior citizens center?" -Sister Halle Guys, I got to wheel Sister Halle around Bluffton. That is a very big deal for me. The whole way she was giving me a tour of Main Street. Now let me remind you that I've walked up and down Main Street about a trillion times since I've got transferred to Bluffton. I wanted to be like "Sister Halle, do you remember how I've lived here for over 2 months?" but I just enjoyed every minute I got to spend with that cute, crazy woman.
3.) "If you ever have any questions in your soul, you are always invited to our church." -Larry You know what's the best? When people let you into there home when your tracting and then they try to convert you to THEIR church. Man, I love that ;) Psh, Larry, I don't need your poop church. I got Jesus Christ's gospel. How's about if you have any questions in YOUR soul, you give us a call, aight? Freakin' Larry.
4.) "Sisters, we are having a very yummy dessert tonight! Fruit cocktail bread!!" -Sister Peralta Fruit cocktail bread is not tasty, people. Not tasty. I was praying the whole time I was eating it that I wouldn't gag. Good thing Heavenly Father answers prayers, or a certain someone who made fruit cocktail bread would have been very offended. I am willing to bet a solid $5 that every one who qualifies for Hell has fruit cocktail bread for every meal.
5.) "We never need to feel that we are alone or unloved in the Lord’s service because we never are. We can feel the love of God. The Savior has promised angels on our left and our right to bear us up. And He always keeps His word." -President Eyring ("Mountains to Climb") Man, I started getting a little teary just typing this quote. There have been times these past few weeks where I felt pretty alone. I think a lot of times we, and especially me, forget that Heavenly Father is aware of us ALL the time. He doesn't ever forget about us; we just have the tendency to forget about Him. I love knowing that I have a Father in Heaven who is helping me. Life wouldn't be any good without that knowledge.
Well, have the best weeks ever, folks. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true. I love it a whole bunch. I also love each of you. Catch ya on the flip side.
Love,
Sister Reddish
